The waitstaff was super accommodating. They had a fun fixed menu with cocktails that I tried and my grind was able to still order from the standard menu. We both loved all the food and the cocktails I tried were tasty without feeling too boozy. The roasted cauliflower was standout but it was all delicious.
We went for lunch/brunch which. Our server was excellent. The burger was outstanding, and the ambience was delightful (historic building with tin ceilings). At night it would be a more energetic experience with music and karaoke. It was exactly what we were looking for on a cold winter day.
You've gotta try the French Fried French Toast! Would highly recommend 👌 to all Churro Lovers. The French toast was incredible, crispy cinnamon sweet on the outside, soft & custardie on the inside. Add some butter and a touch of maple syrup and I'm in heaven. Overall, everything tasted delicious. The only critique I have is with regards to the Home Fries. Flavor and crunch were on point, but they were basically chopped up French fries and very difficult to eat.
Third time having food at the babe. Everything has been great, service is really nice. You can't go wrong with any of their selections. 
Very disappointed after watching great reviews from phantom gourmet. Ordered from brunch menu French toast and home fries were like rocks really bad.

Small restaurant with a bar, and tavern style ambiance.
-our waitress was very welcoming and friendly
-I loved the cauliflowers - so good!
-espresso martinis were ok
-my partner got a burger
-I was recommended the veggie burger…. Since it was in house made: Honestly it was disappointing …it was basically all rice, tomato , lettuce, one small avocado and seasoning and very little of that as well…when the waitress asked if I liked it…I told her it tastes like a burrito in a burger bun…it’s ok…it didn’t match the price worth…

Fun, yummy and local. The bartender on the random Monday we stopped by was so kind and fun. We had great drinks and food. Would come back!
Check out their events — they’ve got cool stuff!

Loud music that screams at you. Staff inflexible about any abatement. Only 21-23 years old welcome there. Better places with more welcoming atmosphere are everywhere around.

Paid ahead on open table $36 for 2. Got there and stood at bar for a half hour without so much as being acknowledged, bartenders were swamped , perhaps more than 2 are necessary for NYE with complicated drink specials. We left and went somewhere else.

We loved the playlist. We ordered from the brunch menu which was just good. No complaints but not a stand out. Service was excellent. Looking forward to going back for the atmosphere and drinks.

Friendly local pub- jazz band was there on a Tuesday evening which was a nice surprise and not too loud. Limited menu but the burgers were homemade and tasty! Good beer.
Great burger, good drinks and friendly, attentive staff!

This is my favorite spot. The cocktails are great, with a changing creative menu. The burgers are my go to. Karaoke every Friday is possibly the cherry on top.
